Fun with Wikipedia

| No Comments

Wikipedia is free encyclopedia on the web, brings the standard encyclopedic knowledge. Wikipedia includes information more often associated with almanacs and gazetteers, as well as coverage of current events. The content of Wikipedia is created by thousand of users around the world. However, no single person owns the content; this article never been done forever.

I dug up deeply on Wikipedia and I really love this site. There are infinite amount of learning and education; when I enter the first word: Mario. Interesting, there is long article how Mario first got its name; how he appeared in the video game and lists of games Mario appeared.

As you want to ask the question on yourself; what is the happening events on year I born? Why there is Christmas? What is cat favorite food? How can I learn the rules of game play in Baseball? Why do I need to have education for my life? How does the name come from: Microsoft, Nintendo and Sega? All of those questions answered in Wikipedia. Here are fun facts:

Date. October 12th, the day I born in year 1977. All of those dates are listed on news events, birthdays, deaths and even on holidays.

Video game. What year Nintendo originally founded? What was the first adult video game? What game is the most influence for fighting game? What is Tetris?

Amusement Park. What park runs the three 50+ year-old wooden roller coaster? Which park has most coasters?

Historical Events. September 11th. Boston Tea Party. World War 2.

Science. How did the Solar System formed? Is oxygen the only chemical element remaining in Earth?

Math. What is polygon?

Pets. What does the horse, cat and dog have in common?

English grammar. What is it? Also interesting facts about how a word comes from: FUCK.

Sports. Baseball what you’re seeing right now. Who are Wilt Chamberlian, Wayne Grezkty and Tiger Woods?

Place. What is the total population in my hometown?

Holiday. Christmas, perhaps?

Cult. Pokemon, X-Files, Star Wars and Simpsons all in your head?

Unexplained. Are ghosts, UFOs and extraterrestrial life full of facts?

Also one more thing: What is blog, referred as weblog? Take a look of Ronald Regan’s biography and the date of his death appeared quickly on Wikipedia! I graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology, and I hardly believe their campus contains more bricks than the Great Wall of China!

I notice this entry has most links in my blog, a new daveynin’s thing record. Can you count how many of them?
